execve: disallow argc == 0

The manpage has contained the following verbiage on the matter for just
under 31 years:

"At least one argument must be present in the array"

Previous to this version, it had been prefaced with the weakening phrase
"By convention."

Carry through and document it the rest of the way. Allowing argc == 0
has been a source of security issues in the past, and it's hard to
imagine a valid use-case for allowing it. Toss back EINVAL if we ended
up not copying in any args for *execve().

The manpage change can be considered "Obtained from: OpenBSD"

Document EINTEGRITY errors for many system calls.

EINTEGRITY was previously documented as a UFS-specific error for
mount(2). This documents EINTEGRITY as a filesystem-independent error
that may be reported by the backing store of a filesystem.

While here, document EIO as a filesystem-independent error for both
mount(2) and posix_fadvise(2). EIO was previously only documented for
UFS for mount(2).

Fix exec_imgact_shell()'s handling of two error cases: (1) Previously, if
the first line of a script exceeded MAXSHELLCMDLEN characters, then
exec_imgact_shell() silently truncated the line and passed on the truncated
interpreter name or argument. Now, exec_imgact_shell() will fail and return
ENOEXEC, which is the commonly used errno among Unix variants for this type
of error. (2) Previously, exec_imgact_shell()'s check on the length of the
interpreter's name was ineffective. In other words, exec_imgact_shell()
could not possibly fail and return ENAMETOOLONG. The reason being that the
length of the interpreter name had to exceed MAXSHELLCMDLEN characters in
order that ENAMETOOLONG be returned. But, the search for the end of the
interpreter name stops after at most MAXSHELLCMDLEN - 2 characters are
scanned. (In the end, this particular error is eventually discovered
outside of exec_imgact_shell() and ENAMETOOLONG is returned. So, the real
effect of this second change is that the error is detected earlier, in
exec_imgact_shell().)

Update the definition of MAXINTERP to the actual limit on the size of
the interpreter name that has been in effect since r142453 (from
2005).
